Overview

Safari Madrid is a drive-through wildlife park located in Aldea del Fresno, approximately 50 kilometers southwest of Madrid. The facility allows visitors to observe semi-free-roaming animals, including lions, tigers, giraffes, and rhinoceroses, from their own vehicles. It functions as a conservation and educational center focused on exotic species. The park features a safari circuit where visitors drive through different enclosures housing African ungulates and predators. In addition to the driving route, there is a pedestrian area known as the 'Rincón de los Animales' and a reptile house. The park hosts daily bird of prey exhibitions demonstrating natural flight behaviors. Facilities include picnic zones, a swimming pool for seasonal use, and children's entertainment areas. The site spans a large rural area characteristic of the Sierra Oeste landscape.

Driving through the park in a vehicle with a soft top or open windows, as per safety regulations.

Good to know

Open daily, including weekends and public holidays, though some outdoor attractions may close during extreme weather conditions.
